DoomRL had music.

Most of it however came from its inspiration.

Good to see another multiplayer roguelike, but I would have preferred if it were more brainfucky, it seems like it's going to basically be an MMORPG with a weird setting.

This trailer was intentionally eye candy; many
of my friends weren't convinced that a MMORPG could exist without
graphics.

Well, it looks like he's already up against a tough crowd, so I have high hopes.

trailers should have original music to be truly excellent

Hmm, I thought the music was one of the weaker aspects of this trailer :/ a lot of it seemed to be just a continuous noise (this could just be the bad quality of the video itself), not really drawing me into what's happening or the themes at play.

The music in the RL trailer at hand was fairly neat, but I think the same sound and themes could have been captured with an original tune; in my mind, that's even cooler than using existing music, and not all that hard with the amount of talented musicians willing to write music for free or even for a small price. Also, a musician would probably be able to capture the game much better than a pre-written tune could, as they can alter every nuance of their songs to suit the game for which they are designed.

But this seems to be just a lazy, for-the-heck-of-it trailer, so who really cares? If it's a serious promotional trailer, than I'd definitely suggest some original tunes.

I'd never heard the song before, so it was new to me, I guess.

It looks interesting as an adventure game, but I don't know how it wants to pull off the "roguelike" part.

Everything you read is an opinion, just assume that and the internet is a much easier place to handle.

Quiggan has a point.

Also, I'm intrigued by this trailer. Though he could have made some use of background colors in the game.

Looks like such an amazing setting. I highly doubt they can make it work in a multiplayer game, but, well, we'll see.

Don't get the big deal. Looked like it was just an intro video. Where is the gameplay? Of course the world looked kinda cool but...eh, I dunno it didn't impress me.
